The James F. Dicke College of Business Administration prepares
students to become successful business and community leaders in a
changing world. The college offers nationally accredited academic
programs in six majors and five related areas of study. The
integration of theory and practice and ongoing mentoring
opportunities are hallmarks of this outstanding academic
program.
Message from the Dean
The James F. Dicke College of Business Administration will mark
a milestone at the start of the fall 2012 semester with the launch
of our first graduate program. In partnership with the Pettit
College of Law, we have created a graduate program in accounting
that will be unique to the marketplace. The program enables
accounting professionals to obtain enough credit hours to sit for
the CPA exam while simultaneously earning a masters degree in the
professional practice of accounting. You can read more about this
distinctive program in the pages that follow.
Also in this issue, we illustrate the character trait of
determination. We profile Amy Beaschler, BSBA 80, Sheryl
(Haushalter) Sopher, BSBA 92, and Deann (Fishpaw) Newman, BSBA 83,
who have all worked hard to rise to the top in competitive
industries. We introduce a young entrepreneur, Rob Lydic, BS 97,
who is committed to helping our students learn how to launch a
business. And we feature six student-athletes who excel on the
court/field and in the classroom. Through participation in their
sports, they have developed skills, like time management and
teamwork, that will serve them well in the business world.
Enjoy this issue and have a relaxing and fruitful summer! Please
consider joining us for our annual golf outing on July 24, 2011, at
the Catawba Island Club in Port Clinton, Ohio. The money raised
during this event helps to provide additional scholarships in the
business college. Thank you for your continued support.
Sincerely,
James W. Fenton Jr., Ph.D.Dean and professor of

Masters Degree in Professional Practice of Accounting
the MAster oF ProFessionAl PrACtiCe in ACCounting
The James F. Dicke College of Business Administration will
launch its first graduate degree program in fall 2012: the master
of professional practice in accounting (MPPA). This program will
enable accounting professionals to obtain enough credit hours to
sit for the Certified Public Accountant (CPA) exam while
simultaneously earning a masters degree in the professional
practice of accounting.
A number of specific features contribute to the programs
uniqueness. For starters, students enrolled in the program can
choose between two track options: taxation (TaxTrack) or forensic
accounting/audit services (FAASTrack).
The typical masters degree in an accounting program is directed
toward providing the extra year of education needed in most states
for students to sit for the CPA exam, says Kay Zekany, associate
professor of accounting. In contrast, our MPPA program is strictly
directed toward providing highly specialized education for those
particularly interested in developing a specialization in forensic
accounting and audit services or taxation.
FAASTrack, a blended online curriculum, will allow students to
pursue the study of all facets of forensic accounting and
internal/external auditing. The TaxTrack
curriculum will be taught by professors from ONUs Colleges of
Law and Business Administration in the areas of tax compliance, tax
planning, tax research and tax litigation.
The online FAASTrack will be a draw to those who would like to
have a forensic/audit masters degree, but who can't take time off
from work to attend traditional daytime, face-to-face courses, says
Jill (Ringelman) Christopher, BSBA 82, associate professor of
accounting.
We saw little advantage in offering a me too program that could
be replicated across dozens of college campuses across the state
and country. We needed to find the right niche for us that had the
potential to draw students on larger scale. That niche was found
through collaboration between ONUs Colleges of Business and Law,
says Zekany.

This new graduate program will be a distinctive addition to the
colleges program offerings, says Dr. Jim Fenton Jr., dean of the
College of Business Administration. We have developed a very
different accounting
graduate program compared to most on the market.

The programs forensic accounting track will be delivered via
distance education to attract students from a wide geographical
area.
In addition to distance learners, ONUs MPPA program targets a
number of other potential students. High school students thinking
about majoring in accounting will be able to move directly from
ONUs undergraduate accounting
program into one of the two curriculum tracks. Transfer students
who have completed a two-year accounting program can finish their
baccalaureate degree at ONU and then enter the MPPA program. Public
accounting professionals can add the graduate accounting degree on
a full- or part-time basis.

accounting/audit services track or the tax track (both of which
require an internship) should graduate well prepared to practice
accounting.

would not require extensive additions to the business faculty.
So, a committee was formed to assess the possibility of creating
such a program. The group, composed of law and business faculty
members, came up with the unique MPPA graduate program by
developing the core curriculum with two track options.

enhance their estate-planning or business-planning tax practices
with courses from a highly esteemed law school, or to law
The program also will appeal to current ONU students, such as
undergraduate business students with accounting electives or ONU

Jill Christopher was specifically asked to design the FAASTrack
and the distance-education portions of the MPPA program proposal
document.
Since I had designed the forensic accounting option previously,
and since I was, at the time, the only faculty member who had
taught any College of Business Administration courses online, I was
given the forensic accounting track and distance-learning portions
of the program to design, Christopher says.
faculty and deans of the Colleges of Business Administration and
Law, the MPPA program needed to be approved by the University via
the vice president of academic affairs, the president of the
University, and the Board of Trustees. This happened in June
2010.
After University approval, the new degree program was sent to
the Ohio Board of Regents in December 2010 and then the Higher
Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges
and Schools, ONUs general accrediting agency, in March 2011.
The Ohio Board of Regents is very interested in quality
education, says Zekany. The approval process they conduct is very
thorough and probing. It was anything but a cakewalk, but I was
quite impressed with their process.
A Degree oF exCiteMentNow that the new MPPA program has cleared
all its procedural hurdles, College of Business Administration
faculty members look forward to
Dexter woods
Dexter Woods, BSBA 79, JD 82, professor of business
administration, played an important role in coordinating the
efforts to further develop the program,
writing its description, and getting it approved at various
levels.
The full approval process involved many stages. Once approved by
the
what the degree will bring to the college and the
University.
This program has tremendous potential, Zekany says. The need for
the forensic accounting specialty is tremendous and growing. Our
FAASTrack program has very strong bones. Im also excited about the
collaboration with the College of Law.
As a certified public accountant and lawyer who obtained an
LL.M. in taxation and who worked as a tax attorney for several
years, I am excited that both tracks of the MPPA involve
significant exposure to the law, Woods says.
The MPPA opens the doors for the University to serve markets it
currently does not serve, says Rob Kleine, associate professor of
marketing. Im excited that ONU is moving into the masters program
space by offering a targeted, highly differentiated, high-value
value proposition.

Three dynamic women. Three demanding industries. Three different
paths to success.

ManufacturingSheryl (Haushalter) Sopher, BSBA 92
Sheryl (Haushalter) Sopher, BSBA 92,
never expected to work in the family business. In fact, the
family business didnt even exist when she left the nest and
embarked on her career. But her life took a circuitous route,
eventually drawing her back to northwest Ohio, where she graduated
from Ohio Northern and became a key player in her familys
international manufacturing firm.
Sopher is vice president of finance and administration for
Robinson Fin Machines Inc., in Kenton, Ohio. Robinson Fin
manufactures fin folded metal parts capable of transferring heat to
or from gases or liquids that pass through its folds. The companys
fin is on the cutting edge in heat-transfer technology with diverse
and impressive applications, including the International Space
Station, fighter jets, Pizza Hut ovens, NASCAR race cars, Dell
computers, Sea Wolf nuclear class submarines, BMW car seats and
much more.
James Robinson invented the fin machine. Sophers father, a
mechanical engineer, became Robinsons close friend and
collaborator, helping him to improve the machines design. When
Robinson passed away in 1983, his widow sold the business and
patent to Sophers parents, Ruth and Fred. They changed the core
business from selling fin machines to manufacturing and selling the
fin itself. Fred passed away in 1993, and Ruth assumed control of
the company.
In the last 20 years, Robinson Fin has experienced steady growth
and developed a diversified customer base. A three-generation
company, Robinson Fin operates with family-oriented work ethics and
values. Sopher and her brothers, Mark and David, all joined the
company in the early 90s. Sophers daughter, Cassi, joined the firm
in 2006.
We love working together, says Sopher, commenting on her familys
tight bond. We each bring a special area of expertise to the table.
Its a blessing to be able to see my family members every day and
work with them to grow our business.
Sophers mother, Ruth, serves as a powerful role model. Ruth had
always been company president, but after her husbands death, she
had to guide Robinson Fin through a transition that could have been
devastating to the business and its employees. Ruth didnt back
down, even though there were few women-owned manufacturing
companies at the time. Ruths skills and determination produced a
thriving business to share with her children.
Not surprisingly, Sopher scoffs at the idea that manufacturing
is a mans domain. When she encounters a client who doubts her
knowledge
1
or authority, she tactfully proves them wrong. Its a challenge I
enjoy, she says. If you know your stuff, youll be accepted,
regardless of your gender or age.
Sopher learned her leadership style servant leader from her mom.
Like Ruth, she tries to help each employee foster their strengths
and overcome their shortcomings. I learned early on that if you
support people to do their best, youll have a good outcome, she
says. I just hope my ability to lead and influence is half as
successful as my moms.
Although she primarily works with the companys finances, Sopher
strives to be creative, too. You can never stand still, she says.
Standing still is the same as going backward

because the rest of the world is moving forward. I am always
open to change and looking for ways to improve.
Sopher doesnt measure success, however, by how much money she
makes or how much influence she wields. She measures it by what she
gives to others. She is involved with numerous organizations
including Youth for Christ/USA, the Greater Findlay Emmaus
Community, Hardin Memorial Hospital Foundation, Kenton Elks, and
Ohio Northern. For me, success means being a happy, contributing
member of society, she says. Sopher lives in Findlay, Ohio, with
her husband, Todd. They have a blended family of four adult
children, Cassi, Aubrey, Brett and Brittany, and one granddaughter,
Rylee.

project, or moving to a different country, she goes for it. Its
like waving a red flag in front of a bull, she says, with a
laugh.
Her can-do attitude helped her rise to the top in the
high-pressure industry of call centers and collections. Along
the way, shes had fun adventures and made business connections
across the country and in the exotic island of Barbados.
Beaschler is a project director for GC Services L.P., a
privately held company that employs approximately 10,000 people at
31 U.S. service centers and two international centers. GCs clients
include Fortune 100 companies in industries like automotive,
telecommunications and banking that find it more advantageous to
outsource their customer dialogue.
Call centers are fast-paced and demanding, says Beaschler, but
she finds them invigorating. Her gregarious personality and high
energy are assets in this environment. A human resources manager
once told her she would never last in the male-dominated industry.
Beaschler
delights in calling the HR manager each year to tell her she is
still going strong.
Today, Beaschler manages around 350 employees at a 24-7 customer
service center in El Paso, Texas, for an electricity provider. Her
center handles a wide range of customer calls such as bill
questions, service complaints and enrollment calls. Her employees
need to be at the top of their game
because unsatisfied customers have the option of switching to
another electric provider in the deregulated environment.
Sometimes it gets intense, she explains, because you are dealing
with a necessity and peoples comfort levels. If you have a customer
who just put a side of beef in their freezer, and then their
electricity goes out, for example, they are not going to be happy.
The language can get pretty colorful.
Beaschlers biggest challenge, however, is developing and
retaining employees. Most positions at her center are entry-level,
so her employees tend to be young and inexperienced. Beaschler

works hard to create an upbeat, professional work environment
that provides each employee with the tools and training they need
to be successful.
Sincerely dedicated to her people, Beaschler celebrates each
time an employee reaches his or her potential. I have a
coaching/teaching leadership style, she says. If I can help an
employee grow in a position, they can carry that skill with them
and share it with others. Therefore, I have created a legacy.
Beaschler worked in telecommunications for 15 years before
joining GC Services in 1995. Throughout the course of her career,
shes relocated 11 times and owned eight homes. Shes lived in
Nashville, Memphis, St. Louis, Indianapolis, Cleveland and Cedar
Rapids, to name a few. Her most interesting assignment took her to
Barbados for two years to establish a new customer service
center.
never dreamed she would one day be a partner in the largest
professional services firm in the world. But today, she heads a tax
management consulting practice for Deloitte and Touche LLP, the
largest of the Big Four accounting firms. This (becoming a partner)
was a big one for me, she says.
Newmans success resulted from her hard work and vision. After
graduating from Northern, she worked at a local public accounting
firm and obtained her CPA licensure. She then obtained her law
degree and worked at a law firm before joining Deloitte and
Touche.
At Deloitte, she established a reputation for being creative,
focused and technology savvy. She was named partner in 2006 and
assumed her present position in 2009.
She immediately set an ambitious goal of doubling the size of
the North Central tax management consulting practice.
Newmans workdays start around dawn and end after dark. Her work
focuses on four areas: client service, business development, talent
management and operations. Because she likes to strategize, Newman
says business development is her favorite task. My clients are
multinational organizations that are usually undergoing some type
of significant transformation, she says. I love the challenge of
assessing a situation and then developing a strategy. I have always
enjoyed learning and experimenting.
Ethics are paramount in every industry, but especially in
Newmans. Her clients and team members can count on her to act with
honesty and integrity in all situations. And she expects the same
from them. Ive worked hard to develop my brand, and I fiercely
protect it, she says. I follow through
My mother calls me a nomad, she laughs. I have moved to places
where I didnt know a soul. But my sense of adventure has always led
me to say, Sure, Ill go!
Beaschler is active in Toastmasters International, a nonprofit
organization that helps people develop public speaking and
leadership skills. She enjoys handson hobbies, including
refinishing furniture, counted cross-stitch and cooking. She has a
strong ONU connection: Her brother, Ron Beaschler, BSBA 86, has a
distinguished 23-year career at ONU as an assistant professor and
wrestling coach.

Newman and her husband, Kurt, BSME 85, live in Grosse Pointe
Farms, Mich., and have two children, Abby and David. As a mom and a
high-powered executive, she manages her time wisely and
prioritizes, she says. It helps to be married to the greatest guy
in the world, she adds, with a smile. Her free time is devoted to
her children, attending sporting events, playing games, and taking
family trips.
Newman also serves as treasurer of the Family Center of Grosse
Pointe and Harper Woods and as president of the Upper
on my commitments and execute with a genuineness and integrity
that are the foundation of my brand.
Newmans team is made up of people with diverse backgrounds and
personalities who are scattered across the globe. Most times, team
members never get a chance to meet face to face. But Newman has
discovered that its not that difficult to get everyone on the same
page and performing at the highest level. The best motivation, she
says, is encouragement and positive energy. Others can count on me
to fill their buckets, she explains.
The topic of leadership fascinates Newman. Through the years,
shes attended presentations given by a number of U.S. presidents
and world leaders. She always uncovers lessons from their
experiences that she can apply in her career. Even the most
intimidating leader, she says, is a regular person at heart. It is
easy to get wowed by someones position or status, but we should
always keep our perspective.

ONU, she serves on the Advisory Board for The James F. Dicke
College of Business Administration. She enjoys recruiting and
interviewing Northern students for internships and full-time
positions at Deloitte. It is interesting to hear about their
experiences at ONU and their career goals and aspirations, she
says. The solid educational foundation is the same even though the
specific coursework changes over time. I am always impressed with
the students I meet from ONU.

discovery: Balance is important. I have played sports all my
life, but I know that academia is important. Its also important to
have fun and a social life. I juggle my busy schedule by writing

yourself happy, because if you arent happy, everything starts to
crumble.

success: Meyer is a captain on the ONU mens basketball team. He
started playing basketball when he was in fourth grade. During his
senior year in high school, he helped his team clinch the state
championship the first state title in school history. He was named
second team all-state, first team all-district and all-region, and
the Midwest Athletic Conference player-of-the-year. The chance to
play in front of a crowd and show that I can help my team win has
allowed me to grow as a basketball player and as a person.
discovery: Discipline and hard work. Ive realized that if I want
something, I have to put in the hard work to get it. Playing
basketball has made me work harder as a student.
future: Meyer majored in business after working for his dad, a
man he greatly admires. He hopes to find a marketing job that uses
his outgoing personality as an asset. He also would like to coach
basketball at the high school or college level someday. Ive learned
so much from my coaches in both high school and college, I would
like to be able to share it with others.

something about being a part of a team, but at the same time being
able to just swim and have a mental break from everything around
you, that makes swimming so amazing.
